THE relations OF Germany with Russia
do not improve. The death of Kakkoff is
the occasion of fresh outburst of hatred
toward Germany. Bitterness of feeling
toward France is aggravated under fresh
instances of German ''bating." The latest
case is exciting much anger. This was at
the closing of factory for the manufac-
ture of German toys belonging to Wiers-
bach Brothers and situated at Embermein,
in the department of Mobile. The work.
men were given but three days notice Of
expulsons.

The Texas prohibitionists concede { cir
defeat by 10000 majority. The anti-pro-

SPECIAL dispatches from Louisville,
KY, state that tho Democrats estimate
Buckner's minority safely at over 10000,
and though the Republicans are claiming
1t will be under that, their claims are not
BONE out by returns. tll larger counties
are in, and only few mountain counties
ARE 10 be heard from. and ly giving these
all to Bradley by an increas d II publican
vote he will not come within 10000 of
Buckner's vote.
The Louisville Courier Journal in com.
mentIng on the Kentucky election says:
Additional returns do not give any indica-
ton of ground swell for us. We can
judge that the Democratic losses are due TO
confidence and indifference in our party,
and unusually good organization on the
part of Republicans. With the informa.
ton at hand we 10 not doubt that Buckner
will have 22,0U0 more votes than Bradley.
The Commercials summary says: The
gross Republican gain so far as heard from
is 25,000.
A SPECIAL from Mason City, Ia, says:
No sooner was the democratic appointee
placed in control of the Mason City post
office than row in the party began. The
postmaster, in casting his eyes around fol
a deputy, found no one that could fill the
bill 20 his satisfaction, but a young repub.
lican who was bounced but a short time
ago as route agent on account of his often
sive partsanship. His appointment raises
the ire of the leading democratic leai-
ers, and the postmaster is loudly de-
nounced for making such an appointment.

ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.

Tho Democratic State Ticket Elected
Small Labor and Prohibition Vote.
Louisville Ky.) telegram
The election for State and legislative
officers passed OF quietly. The vote does
not seem to have been large. The Labor
and Prohibition votes are smaller than
was anticipated. In Louisville the Demo-
cratic majority is about 1900, Democratic
gain of nearly 1900 over last election.
The city elects solid Democratic legisla-
tive ticket and defeats local option by Z
heavy majority. Meager returns from the
State indicate Republican gains, but the
Democratic tickets estimated majority will
be from rs, ,0OO to $1,000 votes. The Leg
islature will be largely Democratic. and
will elect a United States Senator In Jam
uaTy to succeed Senator Beck.
